...as usual. Mind Wondrin types extremely long, detailed reviews all of which is complete, useless horseshit. That's what happens when you type with your

head completely up your ass. Spare us all, Mind Wondrin, and go post your crap somewhere else.
As for reviews and ratings, they are particularly moot when discussing the Grateful Dead. They cannot be pinned down like that. The "unpinnable-ness" is the core of their very being. It's why we love them. I love 60's, 70's, and 80's shows tremendously, but all quite differently. That is the gift they give us. (I love 90s shows too but that's another topic).Their evolution is remarkable to say the least. I've been listening to them for 45 years now, attended 100 plus shows, and countless listens to shows from all eras and I still am amazed, energized, and uplifted by the depth and breadth of their music. Hey, don't get me wrong, some of those Ramblin Roses in the 80's got a little tired but then, next thing you know, in 2nd set, Garcia stays on stage all through the most amazing drums you've heard and into space, then rock the rest of the set and close out with Day Tripper!! (3/31/85 - Portland, ME).
Thanks for listening. I'm going to go put on this show, have toke or two, and let my mind wander. And wonder. ; )

Subject: All-timer that deserves the hype.
MarcReyn, there's no mystery to why Mind Wonderin posted that dribble. 2/13/70 is such a famous and lauded show, even Rolling Stone references it. This
...
show is face stealer for sure. There are always going to be people who crave attention and have figured out that being contrarian is the easiest way to get it. I suppose he could actually believe a set with certified all-time great versions of Dark Star, TOO, and Lovelight deserves a C+. But if that is the case, pity him, because the bus came by and he missed it.
Absolutely killer show. The Dark Star is all-time, The Other One is all-time, Lovelight is all-time, and the rest of the show is excellent fare as well.
FYI, the nicksmix matrix is the source you want going forward. https://archive.org/details/gd1970-02-13.lateshow.mtx.131678.nicksmix.flac16

Subject: Tops for me
Subject: Tops for me
I am struggling to understand Mind Wonderin's review, particularly on the Late Show 2nd Set. C+???!! I guess this is a classic case of people likes what
...
they likes. I could (and do) listen to this frequently when I want to get down with some heavy groove-infested jammng. This is stripped-down, straight-ahead, punch-you-in-the-face music, yet you can tell they are intensely listening to each other, playing off of one another, exploring new areas. Maybe not in an experimental way, but certainly in a groove way. The Dead cover so much territory across their repertoire, so I understand why some might want more song selection and styles, but if you're looking for hot grooves, look no further. .Ass-shaking grooves, at that..
I've always thought this 2nd set felt like they were having a fucking blast - to hell with the audience and the requests, we're going to just jam out and see where it takes us. No thinking, just play and have fun. Get on board or get out of the way. Sometimes I like that.
Just because this is well-known, a Dick's Picks, on Grayfolded, etc. doesn't reduce its value. Just my 2 cents.

Early show
The two shows from this night sit as average among those from the month, but at one time they occupied a vaunted spot in ... tape collections, representing '70 itself (along with the next night). These followed a cancelled showcase club gig the night before. The current album was Live/Dead, and if you went to the early show expecting that, you were mistaken! But then, you got much more. There was room on Dick's 4 for much more from this night.
With shows at 8p & 11:30p, and three bands, this set had to be more concise, sticking to mostly straightforward versions. The first 13secs of Cold Rain & Snow are clipped on SBDs. Beat it on Down the Line-5 is the warming up. Good Lovin' is a standard read, but it's more or less the classic version (heard on Bear's Choice). The rest is average '70. SBDs have a 21sec cut @8:01 in Black Peter. Somebody [Mickey?] jokingly calls out for White Rabbit as Pig takes the mic for Hard to Handle. After Not Fade Away, Jer calls the 8pm set the "chicken shit show" (for those who can't take the NYC-style, overnight, late show!).
Early Show Set: C+ 3 stars
Highlight:
Good Lovin' - standard though classic version
Late show
This show is known for the Dawk Staw - one of the most historic versions - and a fine acoustic set. Though there are three sets, the breaks were for setups. The show let out at dawn. Opening band Allman Bros. also released an album from these shows.
First Set. China Cat as an opener! Another classic version, and a great example of a '70. Check Bobby's end jam on the tranny into the ace Rider. A superb Me & My Uncle has wily leads from Jer. We all know this Smokestack. There are only four of these in '70; this is as good as the others - in sections anyway. Note that @7:45 Jer riffs on New Speedway, and Bobby and Phil pick it up, but Pig does not surrender.
Second Set. Monkey & the Engineer was a rarity at the time (none in '68; 2 in '69; then one in '70 so far). After this they broke it out a lot through the year, then none until 3SetFall80. A Dead song coming in at a minute and a half! This was recorded in mono. Little Sadie is rarer - played only 6 times from 12/69>2/70, then brought back once for 3SF80. It goes back to stereo. Wake Up Little Susie is the 1st one, unless they played it in '66. There are better ones later in the year. Black Peter is repeated from the early show (in the 5/15 late show they play FotD again, and Bobby says "we are breaking tradition". But they had already played repeats a couple times this year). Everyone knows this one, since it was on two albums in the '70s. An otherwise solid Uncle John's has a cut @4:29, missing the last 1:25.
Third Set. This has always been a noted, listed, discussed Dawk Staw. By the late '80s there were lots of Heads who had heard this a dozen times, since portions of this show were well-traded and often represented one of our few tapes from the year. You could hear it while cruising the parking lots. It's also the longest bit used in Oswald's Grayfolded (over 10mins instead of just seconds). Even if not among the five best from the year, it's great - in part because they hit the main themes enough times, in the right places, for the right lengths. The shifts are sudden-trip-revelation, though that's typical of the episodic '70 Stars. Ex.: after 18: 20 where Bobby starts a Feelin' Groovy Jam. It happens abruptly, then Jer turns it into a Countryside Jam @19:40. It's interesting where Jer decides to be spare, when he decides to post a verse and when he allows for Phil [ex. 7:00>11:00]. At the drum solo coming out of Cryptical, Jer teases an NFA against the drum pattern, but Billy and Mickey have already dived. The rest of The Other One is typical '70, though Bobby tests a very brief Spanish Jam @20:35. The Cryptical reprise is the best part. Pigpen is already onstage and waiting to sing. As you would expect from a half hour Lovelight, there are lots of vamping, waiting and wait-a-minutes, but also some fine Bobby rhythm, and he and Phil lock-in to something @15:45. Bid You Goodnight is a full version. Note that the bulk of the 1½hr set is just three songs, a half hour each.
1st Set: A-
2nd Set: B
3rd Set: C+
Overall = 3⅔ stars
Highlights:
China Cat Sunflower - great example of a '70
I Know You Rider - plus Bobby's jam coming in
Me & My Uncle - wily
Monkey & the Engineer - blink-and-you-miss-it in Dead world
Little Sadie - rarity played very well
Dark Star - historic pick still holds up to repeats
SOURCES: Five sources cover the two shows. The miller_fix_97613 is the clearest source for the early show (and is re-pitched & patched). However, the holmes-Oleynick-109535 is needed for the complete Cold Rain & Snow and complete Black Peter. The bonus tracks on History (Bear's Choice) include this Good Lovin'. The miller_fix_97613 also covers the late show, though you need the lateshow_mtx_131678 for the complete Uncle John's. Smokestack, Katie Mae, and Wake Up Little Susie are on History (Bear's Choice). The second Black Peter is on both that & What a Long Strange Trip. Dick's #4 has Dark Star, That's it for the Other One and Lovelight. The 123814_aud is the historic Cooper AUD of the late show (it runs way too slow, needing +3.5% pitch correction).

doesn't do it justice, especially the whole Dark Star sequence. There's a reason a chunk of this was included on one of the early Dick's Pick's. If you haven't heard it, you've been missing out on QUINTESSENTIAL Dead.
